Effectiveness of Tempe Biscuits and Honey to Decrease Frequency of Stools in Children Diarrhea
Frequency of stools in diarrhea children requires special attention because it can cause dehydration which is the leading cause of death in children with diarrhea. Previous studies state that tempe and honey are effective in reducing the frequency of stools in diarrhea children. However, it is not known which intervention is more effective. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether there is a difference in the effectiveness of tempe biscuits and honey to decrease the frequency of stools in diarrhea. This study employed the quasi-experiment design with two groups pre and post-test. A total of 30 samples were taken by Accidental Sampling. Samples were divided into 2 groups, where 15 people were given the intervention of tempe biscuits, and 15 other people were given honey. Giving tempe biscuits and honey are given 3 times a day for two consecutive days. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test. The results of this study indicate that tempe biscuits and honey is effective in reducing the frequency of stools in diarrhea children (p = 0.001 and p<0,001). Although the decrease in the frequency of stools in the group with honey was greater than the group with tempe biscuits, the results of this study showed that there were no significant differences between the two interventions to decrease the frequency of stools (p = 0.385). Therefore, in reducing the frequency of defecation, tempe biscuit and honey can be used as good food supplements for diarrhea children

The Impact of Integrated Quality Management-Based Health Services on General Hospital Quality
The global trend toward Total Quality Management (TQM) implementation aims to steadily improve the quality of healthcare services to fulfill patients' expectations and maximize the use of available resources to improve care outcomes. Utilizing TQM processes in the healthcare sector can increase patient safety. TQM has emerged as a promising method for boosting the effectiveness and efficiency of health care demand in this respect (1). TQM emphasizes people and processes. Its goals are organizational success and customer satisfaction (2). Increases in health care expenditures, reliance on technology, and the need to meet international standards and licenses are some of the primary difficulties facing current health organizations (3), and meeting the demands of patients, which necessitates hospitals to maintain a high standard of service. TQM improves hospital performance (4–6). Several studies have been conducted to investigate the effects that putting TQM principles into practice has on an organization's overall effectiveness and performance. A great number of studies have uncovered significant and favorable associations (7). In boosting hospital quality, the phenomenon of inadequate implementation of comprehensive quality management is a major worry for hospital executives and personnel in general hospitals. Despite having a hospital disaster plan and conducting drills and simulations, it has been discovered that public hospitals are unprepared and vulnerable to man-made catastrophes. All of these factors can affect the hospital's capacity to provide patients with quality and safe care (8). This research's objective was to examine the role of integrated quality management of health services in enhancing hospital quality. When doing research, the researchers examined the literature as a methodology. In this research, the content analysis method was utilized as the approach to data analysis that was utilized (9). This research may aid healthcare firms in implementing a more efficient TQM approach. It will encourage general hospitals to provide high-quality patient care services
